Honor Flight thank you card event

So excited to announce the date of our special Honor Flight event. Area Stampin' Up demonstrators are getting together on Monday, June 11th, 2018, to work on 100 cards for our Song of My Heart team service project, Badger Honor Flights.This is all volunteer effort, with donated supplies, designs and handiwork.

Every year, under the amazing leadership of fellow demonstrator Kathy Van Duser, our team creates hundreds of cards to cover the "Mail Call" on every flight from Madison and Milwaukee. We started this to be a blessing to our American veterans, but it has ended up being a HUGE blessing to US instead. How lovely that we can use our cardmaking skills to make such a difference!

Would you like to join us? Please RSVP to Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com The event runs from 6:30 to 8:30 and is held in Watertown, WI. You do not have to bring anything but yourself--volunteers will be bringing cards for us to make and I provide adhesive.

Not local but want to help? You can contribute to the cause by sending finished patriotic thank you cards, OR cardstock for cardbases. We also use a lot of adhesive. We do not need envelopes or postage as these are hand-delivered to the servicemen and women right on the plane. Email me for my address! 

I also encourage you to get involved in Honor Flight in your home area, whether it's to make cards, be a greeter at the airport, or a companion to one of the veterans on the trip itself. Have a loved one touched by this amazing program? Leave a comment below! The stories keep us all inspired.

I love the simple, respectful feel of this military card. Very nicely done. I also like that you've shown how multiple stamps can be easier to line up and make less stamping boo boos with just two stamp actions with the SAR. I learn so much from you, Lyssa!!

Lyssa, my Dad was on an Honor Flight out of WI about 6 years ago. It had to be one of the most memorable days of this life and all of ours. When the men and their chaperones returned that day, it was one of my best ever memories. And then we all gathered at my Mom and Dad’s home and my Dad talked until after midnight about WW!! And the day in Washington DC. Mail call was definitely a highlight of each man’s flight. He died when he was 90 1/2 . Thank you. I live in MT now, and there are not many Honor flights from here-not like in WI. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication.
